The Chiefs and Rams both enter Week 6 with 5-0 records, the only undefeated teams left in the NFL. So, what better time to dig into how the last teams to lose a game each season finished those years (according to Pro Football Reference)?

The previous two seasons don't give Chiefs and Rams fans lots of hope. The last team to lose in 2017 was … the Chiefs (also 5-0), who finished 10-6, didn't even end up with a playoff bye, then blew a second-half lead and lost to the Titans in Arrowhead, in the last game of the Alex Smith era. In 2016, it was the Vikings, making people believe they were OK without Teddy Bridgewater and with Sam Bradford. They started 5-0, finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs entirely.

So the Chiefs and Rams need to hope their seasons are more like 2015, when the Panthers started 14-0, finished 15-1 and reached the Super Bowl before losing. They’re the only team in the last seven seasons to even get that far. Exactly one team since the turn of the millennium has been the last unbeaten and gone on to win the Super Bowl: the 2006 Colts, who started 9-0.

The Rams play in Denver on Sunday afternoon, the Chiefs in New England Sunday night. They play each other in Week 11, on Monday night, in Mexico City.

Philadelphia Eagles (2-3) at New York Giants (1-4)

Thursday, 8:20 p.m., Fox, NFLN, Amazon Prime

Mathematically, the season isn’t over for the loser … at least, if the loser is the Eagles, who have every reason to believe better times are coming. They do lose Jay Ajayi from the running game and need the others in the backfield to fill in the gap immediately, but he hasn’t been at full strength all season, so it’s not a huge transition. Their secondary has a chance to get out of their own way simply by facing Eli Manning, who threw two hideous interceptions in the second half of their loss to the Panthers. The Giants’ biggest problem is that Odell Beckham’s criticism is a problem, but is not inaccurate. Prediction: Eagles, 27-23

Seattle Seahawks (2-3) vs. Oakland Raiders (1-4) in London

Sunday, 1 p.m., Fox

The first of the four international games and the first of the three in Wembley Stadium this season. The Raiders used Marshawn Lynch to promote this trip leading up to it yet are still reluctant to use him from the 1-yard line. Jon Gruden, meanwhile, is running out of people to subtly and not-so-subtly shade during this terrible start. The Seahawks are proving to be capable of beating mediocre-to-bad teams, and keeping it reasonably close against good ones. Guess which group the Raiders are in. Prediction: Seahawks, 30-13

Pittsburgh Steelers (2-2-1) at Cincinnati Bengals (4-1)

Sunday, 1 p.m., CBS

This is the Steelers’ chance to back up all their claims that the reports of division and bad chemistry are overblown. It’s easier to claim that after routing a defense-deficient Falcons team at home, less so on the road against a Bengals team trying to prove they're for real. For someone who’s thrown the second most picks in the league so far (seven, trailing only Derek Carr), Andy Dalton is holding his own and making the plays he needs to make. Neither team is distinguishing itself on defense, but the Bengals scored on two turnovers last week in the comeback against the Dolphins. Ben Roethlisberger has had his moments of sloppiness with the ball again this season. Prediction: Bengals, 31-26

Los Angeles Chargers (3-2) at Cleveland Browns (2-2-1)

Sunday, 1 p.m., CBS

The Browns lead the NFL in takeaways with 15, including a league-high seven fumble recoveries, and are in the top 10 in sacks with 14. Few things could benefit a rookie quarterback like Baker Mayfield more than opportunistic defenses. The Chargers are hanging in there on defense, themselves, without Joey Bosa, and that’s going to be a problem for Mayfield, who got a win last week against the Ravens but produced just one touchdown. The Chargers will be doing the early-West Coast time kickoff, but it’s hard to imagine them letting the Browns push past them. Prediction: Chargers, 26-16

Carolina Panthers (3-1) at Washington Redskins (2-2)

Sunday, 1 p.m., Fox

Washington has laid some gigantic eggs in their two losses, to the Colts and Saints, looking unprepared both times. It seems as if they won’t have that problem in their return home, against a contender that’s flying off of a dramatic win, and holding a slim early lead in an underwhelming NFC East so far. The Panthers' defense got burned a few times last week by the Giants, but it's still far better than what Washington faced in New Orleans on Monday. Alex Smith will have to be a lot better, or at least more consistent, this week. Prediction: Panthers, 29-24

Chicago Bears (3-1) at Miami Dolphins (3-2)

Sunday, 1 p.m., Fox

The Bears have a division lead to protect as they come off their bye, and they get to see if the momentum of that Mitchell Trubisky-led blowout of the Buccaneers before the bye carries over. The Dolphins have made their 3-0 start seem like a mirage in their two ugly losses since then — the gag job they pulled off against the Bengals making the rout by the Patriots look appealing by comparison. Khalil Mack and Co. could make the woes of Ryan Tannehill and the Dolphins grow even further. Prediction: Bears, 20-16

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-2) at Atlanta Falcons (1-4)

Sunday, 1 p.m., Fox

This is taking on the look of a desperation game by the Falcons, who could disappear out of sight with another loss. In Pittsburgh, besides the defense continuing to bottom out, Matt Ryan took a beating with six sacks. There's not much chance of the Bucs doing that with their defense, but the idea that this game is the Falcons’ chance to get healthy is dangerous. This will be Jameis Winston’s first start since returning from suspension. Don’t be surprised if he gets back into a groove quickly. Prediction: Buccaneers, 27-24

Arizona Cardinals (1-4) at Minnesota Vikings (2-2-1)

Sunday, 1 p.m., Fox

The Vikings got a boost by beating the still-shaky Eagles in Philadelphia, and they can get another by handling the Cardinals, even though they and Josh Rosen got their first wins. Good luck predicting what Kirk Cousins will produce this week; he picked apart the Eagles, but after all these years, he hasn’t proven he’s shaken his habit of untimely turnovers, and this is still a secondary that’s good at that. On paper, the Vikings are still the class of the NFC North, but they need to start proving it. Prediction: Vikings, 24-20

Buffalo Bills (2-3) at Houston Texans (2-3)

Sunday, 1 p.m., CBS

Perception of the Bills: They have two wins? On the Texans: They only have two wins? Again, the underachieving Texans don’t have the luxury of thinking they can use the Bills to keep the momentum of their back-to-back overtime wins going. In their two victories, the Bills' defense has made two quality quarterbacks, Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota, look bad. Deshaun Watson gets better every week as he returns to full health, but don’t assume he won’t get sidetracked this week. Prediction: Texans, 21-17

Indianapolis Colts (1-4) at New York Jets (2-3)

Sunday, 1 p.m., CBS

The Jets’ win last week likely said more about the team they beat, the Broncos, than about themselves. The same goes for the Colts’ lone win over Washington. Indianapolis should aim for keeping Andrew Luck from throwing around 60 passes a game (his average in the losses to Houston and New England in a five-day span). If he gets help on offense and they don’t have to rely solely on his post-surgical arm, the better they’ll be no matter what the stats have said. The Jets look like a team led by a rookie quarterback, so since Sam Darnold was on a high last week, the opposite could be true this week. Prediction: Jets, 30-27

Los Angeles Rams (5-0) at Denver Broncos (2-3)

Sunday, 4:05 p.m., Fox

The Broncos are repeating the pattern of last season: 2-0 start, quick reversal, holes spring in a loaded defense, and the quarterback proves too much was expected of him. Case Keenum still has plenty of time to prove that wasn't money wasted this offseason, and that the franchise just has a blind spot at the position. Of course, the Broncos could max out at every position this week, and the Rams could render it all moot. If they can protect Jared Goff, they're not going to be slowed, much less stopped. Prediction: Rams, 38-16

Jacksonville Jaguars (3-2) at Dallas Cowboys (2-3)

Sunday, 4:25 p.m., CBS

Blake Bortles went full Blake Bortles last week, and once again, the Jaguars have to wonder if their Super Bowl dreams are tied to the wrong quarterback — or if he has enough quality games this season to not detract from the rest of their strengths. It’s also worthwhile to point out that Leonard Fournette’s absence (he will miss this game, as well, with an injured hamstring) is hurting them more than it's given credit. The Cowboys are simply what they are: totally lacking a receiving threat and with no solution for it. Prediction: Jaguars, 20-18

Baltimore Ravens (3-2) at Tennessee Titans (3-2)

Sunday, 4:25 p.m., CBS

Much of the positivity the Ravens' offense inspired in their 3-1 start evaporated in an overtime loss in Cleveland that produced zero touchdowns and an early abandonment of the running game. The Titans lost a lot of the luster earned from the win over the Eagles by falling flat against the Bills. Both Joe Flacco and Marcus Mariota have been far better all season than they were last week. Assuming the Ravens remember how balanced their offense can and should be, expect Flacco to bounce back faster. Prediction: Ravens, 20-17

Kansas City Chiefs (5-0) at New England Patriots (3-2)

Sunday, 8:20 p.m., NBC

The Chiefs’ tour of potential playoff opponents stops in Foxborough. Kansas City handled the Jaguars’ threat with surprising ease, especially with its defensive showing, clearly not its strength so far. The Patriots wouldn’t be in any real trouble even if they lose, except that if and when they make their expected turnaround and charge into the postseason, they’d have to go to Arrowhead instead of the Chiefs coming to their home. Patrick Mahomes’ test this week will come less from the Patriots’ defense itself, but from the entire Patriots atmosphere and aura. Prediction: Chiefs, 34-31

San Francisco 49ers (1-4) at Green Bay Packers (2-2-1)

Monday, 8:15 p.m., ESPN

This is the first of what originally were to be five primetime games for the 49ers. It’s now down to four, with the Week 7 home game against the Rams flexed out of Sunday night. The Jimmy Garoppolo effect is evident, for better and worse. The Packers have hardly qualified for the big spotlight, either, especially after whatever spooked them in Detroit last week. It’s ridiculous that Aaron Rodgers can’t get the help he needs anywhere on the roster right now, when he needs it most in his addled state. Prediction: Packers, 20-13
